One of the daily solo-able instanced missions  is Rafflesia. For those who spent time leveling in Ustiur Zones, these leaves should be in abundance. Ores and reputation are required for each key.

The Rafflesia mission does not need master characters - expert characters are enough. I actually use a mix of expert characters for this mission believing lower level characters would help increase the drop rate for Constellation Indications. In this mission the key is to obtain max attack speed as all Rafflesia parts have insane regeneration. The usual buffs that I have are Principal + TA buffs + Meditation + Hound. Musk will be on concentration.

Usual buffs for Mission : Rafflesia

 The sequence to finish Rafflesia Mission is Torso > Legs > Egg. Usually, I have my 2 ranged characters attack the torso (since melee cant hit it) while my melee attacks the mobs and keeps the Raflessia Buff up. Don't be mislead by its ridiculous attack value.


The torso will drop items upon death
After dealing with the Torso, the legs are next. They occasionally use a knockback attack which shouldn't be to painful as long as Raflessia Buff is maintained. It can throw characters from one screen to the next and may disorient people. It's best to use shift+click and alt+click to move around and target properly.

The Queen's Legs - get them out of the way quickly
Once the legs are down, all that's left is the egg. It has no attacks as far as I know but it has the greatest regeneration from my observation. Make sure buffs are still ok at this point. If needed, stack Principal and Shooting Enhancement.
Break the egg to get more loots
The egg will drop e84 and level 100 items upon death. The mission reward box also spawns, which has a chance of 1-2 Mega Talts or Constellation Indications.
